Er, maybe I'm just caught hook line and sinker, but there *is* such a book.
Did you know that...? =)

It's called, uhm, 'Star Wars: Generations' or something equally vague. It's
a comic, that is coming out quite soon, as it was in Previews last month.
Luke screws up the torpedo run on the first Death Star. Stupid Force. Leia
gets corrupt and evil, and more powerful than people could possibly imagine,
apparently.

And eventually, there's a showdown between brother and sister. Nice idea.

ObUA: Er. There's another comic out called 'Razorjack', which I've been
trying to find. But possibly isn't out yet. By a British company called
'Com-X', and thus, bound to be good.

It looks to be a noirish story about some guy, who in the cover art, has
quite icky, spiky blades in his arms. It puts me in mind of fleshworkers,
and the art's quite stark. And it's not just a variation on 'The Crow' or
something. I think he's possibly amnesiac.

Now there's a nice idea: a fleshworker wakes up from a self-induced coma,
amnesiac, body distorted and terrifying. Hilarity ensues.

Joe.
